I thought the player didn't have an avatar

>>159286035
In game they don't

>>159286183
Yeah that is what I mean
Interesting that they choose a shota

Bad I think
I haven't played the game but the moment that faggot showed up I thought "THIS is their leader?"

>>159286706
There's a chance that other adaptions/spin-offs will give the saniwa a face. You might get your older woman saniwa one day.

It's an odd choice, but I'm glad we get to see Saniwa.

The other Saniwa in the other Touken Ranbu anime is getting the TTK treatment isn't she?

>>159286837
Hanamaru's saniwa is being left faceless and shut in because it's the cutesy anime

Hanamaru's Saniwa is a hikki

>>159288402
Producer-san is gar as fuck, PC in this one just looks like a fuckboy.

>>159285613
He fits the lewd shota demographic along with Yagen.

>>159288821
Might be a tomboy though

>>159288900
I highly doubt that though.

>>159288749

They all look like a fuckboy. This is still anime.

You can keep a characters gender vague without making them a lesbian.

>>159285613
This is an excellent idea because a lot of the sword's personalities include interaction with the Saniwa. For Yagen it's a pretty big deal, for example.
I'm glad UFO didn't care about forcing some of the nips out of their comfort zone.

Will the new naginata sneak into the show and out-gay even the Saniwa and incest bros?

I agree

>>159295802
Man, I really wish they'd use more interesting poses.

>>159295804
Their director of photography loves his lighting and post-processing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnATga1UdHg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6ElFng6kT4

You can see he has a certain coloring style and approach to digital effects in the two short works that he directed at the studio.

They said at the AX panel that the current unit was the 2nd one, so the other guys must be from the 1st one. Means there could be a 3rd and 4th unit too.

I just wish Ufo would animate battle scenes in a daylight but that would means less flashy effects. Last time I've seen that from them was in Berseria cutscenes and there was some QUALITY, not too grave but it was there.

>>159285613

It's a good idea because it's a shota Saniwa.

>>159298276
Not necessarily, the lighting might be a bit more subdued but their director of photography always finds a way to include light reflections off weapons and glow.

Because it's supposed to be. Still, I agree that his cum cape looks bad. Glossy semi-transparent white plastic never gives the attractive sheer look it's going for.

His sculpt looks good. For the most part, all the other sword scales that ended up with problems after paint had problems before paint too. He should be okay unless he ends up with semi-transparent hair/bangs. I can't quite tell if Hizamaru has semi-transparent hair or not, but I think he does.

Shitty gimmick.

>>159300698
Shokudaikiri Mitsutada, Tsurumaru Kuninaga, Izuminokami Kanesada, Yamanbagiri Kunihiro, Sohayanotsurugi etc. Nips are too serious about their swords and all these names usually have meanings and their own stories.

He is a japanese polearm.

>>159301803
I know Nene had Mikazuki, not sure if she counts.

>>159301893
I am aware of the fact that he's a naginata. He's a "sword" becuase he's a Touken Ranbu character.

>>159301803
Naginatas were made with females in mind, no?

>>159302809
Yes, women were trained with them usually.

>>159302809
They were for men and women; a shorter, lighter version was made for women specifically.

As a huge swordfag, I loved the dumb and fun moments. Hanamaru might be terrible for newcomers but a paradise for some swordfags.

>>159303994
Same here. I'm looking forward to more comfy times in season two. Maybe now that Yasusada has had his character development, he'll take a backseat and spread the attention out to more swords. I hope to see many of the ones who didn't make it into the first season.

>>159304341
I don't think Okitagumi will be mains this time. I was thinking Genji could take the lead but now that they're in Katsugeki I'm not sure it'll happen.

>>159305035
I don't think Genjibros could be the leads, but an episode focusing on them or any heartaching-turned-heartwarming scenes regarding Higikiri's memory would be sweet.

>>159304113
Well I've never played the game and had no idea about swords, but I watched Hanamaru back in winter and had a lot of fun with it. The characters are likeable and it was comfy to watch.

>>159305197
I think the Genjibros would fit like a glove in Hanamaru's setting as well, especially Hizamaru bullying.

You can only post here if you starter was Kasen, Manba or Mutsu.

iirc those were added too late in the game for it to happen. Maybe in S2.

>>159306647
Hakuouki is right for most part except the obvious super vampires, I don't remember if they mention Isami was beheaded though. Mutsu and Kane-san not getting along makes sense since they were both from opposing factions, and Hijikata died by gunshots, but in game Mutsu has more connections with Nagasone because Kondo was accused of killing Ryoma.

I only know Sengoku period shit because I played almost every single Sengoku BASARA and some Musou. Knowing the story behind all the jokes within BASARA makes the experience a lot better.
